NEC Corporation, a leading global IT and network transformation system integrator, announced its achievement of Cisco Gold Provider status, a top-tier certification that recognizes NEC’s excellence in delivering Cisco solutions. This designation certifies that NEC and its country affiliates registered as Cisco Partners are qualified to provide customers worldwide with the highest level of Cisco expertise, trusted service delivery, and innovative technologies that support digital transformation, powered by NEC’s Network Transformation Service and Cisco’s advanced solutions.

NEC and Cisco entered a Global System Integrator Agreement (GSIA) in 2021 and the partnership has expanded across multiple countries and solution domains, including software innovations such as AI/automation. NEC’s robust engineering capabilities for mission-critical networking, combined with customer-focused approaches, have made the alliance a trusted choice for global companies such as Telenor, Telefonica, and TIM Brazil.

In recognition of this strong foundation, NEC achieved this top-tier certification after passing Cisco’s rigorous audit, particularly excelling in service capabilities such as managed services. This recognition reflects NEC’s proven ability to design, deploy, and support Cisco solutions that drive business success.
